How long does delivery take?
We work hard to get all orders out within a few days, and then for shipping it depends on where your order is going and what service you select. For standard delivery, we'll ballpark 4-10 business days and for an express service, somewhere between 1-6 business days (generally).

Do you offer next-day or same-day delivery?
Locals can select 'Local Delivery' when checking out for next-day or same-day hand delivery via our very own Budgie drivers. For those not in range, it can be arranged on occasion. It depends where your order needs to go and how close it is to us in Ringwood.

How long do the cocktails last?
They vary depending on what they're made of. If you have your eye on a particular cocktail, check it out as its single cocktail listing to learn about its ingredients and get some serving suggestions. On average, either 3-6 months or indefinitely.

Can I add a note to my order?
You can! We offer some nice gift wrapping options or simply add it as a note on the order and we'll be sure to include it.

How big are the bottles?
Each glass cocktail bottle is 100mL which we recommend as a single serve.

Can you leave out the reciept?
We've gone paperless for reciepts so you'll never get one in with your order - only electronically via your confirmation email.

How many cocktails can I order?
Up to 48 cocktails in a single retail transaction.
